Abstract

The letters and marks on the hull of vessels are marked by welding bead or steel plate to resist the corrosion environment. It has done by manual work. So, it cause deterioration of welding quality and process delay and so on. The automated welding device for draft mark has developed partially in the field of shipbuilding. But it can be used for draft mark only. And it has caused a few problems about that workablity and movablity are decreased owing to the size and weight of device. So we developed the automated welding device that can be used for most letters and marks on the hull. It designed to 3 axises mobile robot include to ratoation axis and stand alone type controller with multi GUI base on imbedded windows.
